Hi, several days ago I released my new website with J! 3.4.1 and VM 3.0.8 and all was just fine, until I tested PayPal on the live site.

In my production server I was getting this error log on each order purchase...
QuoteError with REMOTE IP ADDRESS = 173.245.54.10.
                        The remote address of the script posting to this notify script does not match a valid PayPal IP address

            These are the valid IP Addresses: 173.0.82.126The Order ID received was: ab2e05

So, after a little bit debugging I found the issue was in funcion getClientIP of ShopFunctions helper class. In my case, I'm using CloudFlare services to speed up my site, so the client IP of every HTTP request is changed by CF own servers IP, to fix that, I suggest a little rework of the function to include the CF header HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP and rework it like this. Note that REMOTE_ADDR header check should go to the end of the array, if not, It will allways return that IP first, that in my case, was allways CF IPs...


    static function getClientIP() {
$ip_keys = array('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR', 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'REMOTE_ADDR');
$extra = VmConfig::get('revproxvar','');

if(!empty($extra)) {
$extra = explode(',', $extra);
$ip_keys = array_merge($extra, $ip_keys);
}

foreach ($ip_keys as $key) {
if (array_key_exists($key, $_SERVER) === true) {
foreach (explode(',', $_SERVER[$key]) as $ip) {
// trim for safety measures
$ip = trim($ip);
// attempt to validate IP
if (self::validateIp($ip)) {
return $ip;
}
}
}
}

return false;
}


Just for the record, there you have an HTTP header of the PayPal IPN request through CF servers.

Great, thanks for considering the fix, also have in mind that the array_merge should be like this array_merge($extra, $ip_keys); and the last line should return false, because if everything else failed (included REMOTE_ADDRE ) there must be another issue...
